Practices to support base chakra wellness

Working with the base
chakra and understanding more about it has been a huge support in many of areas
of my life including: opening up to receive, feeling grounded and that I am
safe to be me, releasing judgments, increasing energy, letting go of anger and
bringing in more compassion and gentleness – to name a few.

For those that are new to the chakra system, chakras are commonly described as energy centres that correspond to various parts in the body. We have seven main
ones in our body, going up from the base of our spine (also called Muladhara)
right up to the crown of our head (known as Sahaswara). These chakras act as points
between our human form and consciousness. Energy flows through these centres and
when they are balanced we feel peaceful, centred and connected.

There are practices to support each chakra and help to balance it when
it is stuck or blocked. Issues in the chakras might show up for you as feeling
out of balance or coming up against a certain block in your life again and
again.

When it comes to the base chakra, this is the area of consciousness of the physical body. It
is traditionally seen as the colour red, which grounds, anchors and supports
you as you engage with everyday life. It brings you into the present, so that
you are able to be in your life right here, right now.

Some of the areas that relate to the base chakra are:

Connecting
with your body/your physicality

Energy,
action and motivation for life

Passion
and sensuality

Ambition
and power

Issues
around money and your ability to receive

Relationships
with others

Grounding,
strength and focus

Any
issues around survival

Judgements

Any
feelings of victimhood or martyrdom

Being
honest with yourself do any of the above areas affect you?

A few practices
that can support you with your base chakra wellness are:

Where
in your life do you still judge things/people? Simply observe without judgement.

These are
just a few things that I hope inspire you to connect with your base chakra. I’d
love to know what resonates, please reply to this email and share with me.

Going
deeper

If you would like to go deeper, I am running an online workshop on the base chakra on Saturday 23rd May, from 11am – approx 1pm (UK). In it we will dive deeper into connecting with the base chakra, through colour visualisations. meditations and journaling prompts. I will guide you throughout, holding a space where you can connect to what is coming up for you in your life. I will also share some tools and practices to support you.

Some of the
things this particular workshop will support you with are:

Releasing
judgements so that you feel a sense of peace and connection.

Feeling
more connected to your body and being, present here at this time.

Support
for any fears or anxieties rising in you at this time.

Feeling
inspired and ready to take focused action in your life.

Connecting
to your sensuality.

It will
take place on Zoom and you can join with your camera on or off. If you can’t
make it, no worries, everyone that signs up will receive a recording and
workbook of the prompts.
